The Best of Reasons for DIVISION
of Dakota.

of Dakota.
Congressman E. P. Allen of Michigan
has these string words on the Dakota
question in the Pioneer Press Of the oath:
"rhe territory, in my Judgment, ought
to be divided, and admitted as two
states and that forthwith. 1t il altogether
to large for n state, and will make two
magnificent commonwealth. I was in
Mitchell in the fall and addressed the
territorial sair. No more intelligent
people can be found in the United States
than you find in the territory Of Dakota.
1t has been q wrong that they have been
kept out Of the Union 10 long, and to
further continue this wrong will bring
disaster to the party responsible for it.
The people Of the territory are as intel
ligent and as deserving of citizenship
as are the people of Massachusetts or
Michigan; and when you say this, you
say they are az capable of citizenship rs
any people in tho United States. No
consideration whatever should be al
lowed to keep them longer out Of the
Union. [ cannot now believe it best
that that great territory shall come in as
one state. even il the present congress
refuse to admit it IN any other manner.
They a better afford to Va t, than
thus to be admitted. 1t is altogether
too large for one state. If her popula-
ton wore made up, 40 are some Of the
states, like Arkansas or Texas, for in
stance, it would be different, but she
has a most intelligent population. and
her people will always he interested in
local and state government, keeping a
watchful eye on what pertains to the po-
litieal welfare Of the state. For this
reason the capital should not be far re-
moved from the people. II admitted
a n state, and one capital, thousands
and tens of thousands of her people
would be so far away that they would
scarcely ever come to tho capital; but
with two states, the capitals would be
convenient Of access to the people and
as q result the lawmakers would he
more directly under the eyes of their
constituents, and better legislation would
be the inevitable result. My observation
10 that smaller states with an intelligent
constituency are the best governed, and
this largely for the reason that the peo-
can, so to speak, touch elbows with the
lawmakers. and the latter are under
their supervision and criticism"

The name by which this, the largest
and finest body Of water in North Dakota
is at present known, is singularly inap-
propriate. The word "Deyil," even by
those individuals from whose mouths it
most frequently proceeds in ordinary
conversation, is employed in anything
but a good sense. 1t appears ever to
carry with it the v Of all that is mean
and despicable. Why then has it been
applied to a lake Of which Dakota's oiti-
zen's should indeed be proud? Situated
in b midst Of what has been termed a
boundless prairie, it is a relief and a
blessing to the people Of Dakota to have
here such a beautiful sheet of water with
it, surrounding hills and woods and
charming scenery. Surely a happier
name could readily be chosen for q place.
which, a. a pleasure and health resort,
possesses natural advantages at least
equal to those of the fashionable water
ing pisces, Cape May and Saratoga. /

The Benser-ROsenfieId suits IN the
Circuit Court--Important Proceed
ings.
The Benser Rosenfield suits have taken
the attention of the circuit court for some
days past They are of an important ma
tuIe and involve several interesting points
of law. Mrs Henrietta Benser and Mr..
Morris Rosenfield are the administrators
of Mr.. Benser's estate. He died some
| thing more than two years ago, while on
visit to the old country Just before he
| left home the stock of the Moline Wagon
company was increased from 100000
| to 5000 900, but the new stock of $500 :
600 had not been in fact issued before
| Mr.. Benser's death Mrs Benser claims
| that her husband was entitled to the
equal one half of ali the stock. new and
old. Mr.. Rosenield denies the claim, and
only issued to the estate of Mr.. Benser.
that is, to himself and Mrs Benser as
administrators. portion of the new
stock less than half The county court
ordered that what stock had been issued
should be divided between Mrs Benser
and the adopted child in the proportion
fixed by law From this order Mr.. Ro-
seDfiled appealed to the circuit court, in
which be made first motion to dis
miss the proceedings; second a motion
to continue; third, ii motion to reverse
the order of the county court and re-
mand the cause. All the motions were
on yesterday, the attorneys of the parties
agreed upon course of proceeding which
will probably put an end to that part OF
the controversy and secure the issuance
of new stock to Mrs. Benser and the child
in lieu of the former stock issued Be.
sides this matter, there is suit in chan
Gerry pending by Mrs. Benser against
Morris RoseDfield and the wagon COM
pany, the object of which is to secure t.
the Benser estate the full half of the stock
of the wagon company which it is claimed
belonged to Mr.. Benser in his life time

work. She said she had been out ia a

several of the persons named live in this

up, and that her sister and another lady,

her wages and released her. She related
the same sad and pitiable tale to Others
